Harmattan mornings start chilly enough for a jacket, and a dusty haze softens the granite hills around town. By midday the sun burns through and Terminus market fills up, then the cold creeps back by supper. In the rainy months, clouds stack up over the rocks and the plateau turns green.
Beyond the center, Nok terracottas fill the city museum, lions doze at the Jos Wildlife Park and hikers climb among the boulders of the Shere Hills. Rains fall from May to October, while altitude keeps harmattan nights cool. A Local Friend translates the menu, steers the map and reads the sky, pairing a cold morning with gwote and a clear afternoon with a hilltop.
